Architecturally, the house is significant as a Federal farm house with unusually sophisticated swap detailing on the main facade freize board. Its 5-bay main facade is symmetrically arranged around an enclosed projecting entrance with Doric pilasters at the entrance way's corners. Windows are simply enframed (2 bayside walls) and contain 6/6 wood sash. This house is enclosed by a broad hip roof with a substantial brick center chimney. Extending from the rear of this house, eastward is a long, low, 1-story shed with windows containing 15/15 wood sash--further research is needed to determine if this shed had a specific use related to a trade or an aspect of farming. (Probate records might shed light on its function).
